More than 2,600 responses have been received to a call for evidence as part of Lord Davies of Abersoch’s review into the lack of women in the boardroom. The call for evidence closed yesterday. In recent weeks Lord Davies has met with a number of interested groups to further discuss and debate the reasons why there is a lack of female representation in so many company boardrooms across the country. Many ideas have come out of these meetings, with suggestions including trial periods in the style of internships on company boards and looking at ways to widen the talent pool by allowing recruitment from the services sector.
